Nihilism is the negation of the negative (negativity vs vitality) (nihilism)

Nihilism is not the negation of being – as one often keeps hearing – but the destruction of the difference that inhabits being. Its principal contribution has not been the production of the negative but the negation of the negative – and therefore its doubling. By negating the negative that has always permeated our experience, what we call nihilism ended up strengthening it exponentially, consigning us to its destructive reproduction. For this reason, it also affected overtly positive philosophies that were inclined to eliminate the negative before engaging in any critical confrontation with it. (Politics and Negation: Towards an Affirmative Philosophy, Roberto Esposito, 2018, p. 3)

消滅差異,『否定』「否定」,就是『虛無主義』,

這裡,被否定的「否定」就是 「negativity」,

意思是說,這是第一個「否定」,是無中生有的無,是和 vitality 辨證的 negativity,

意思是說,這是第一個「否定」,本質非惡,

意思是說,惡是第二個『否定』,那個『否定』否定的否定,

這個第二個否定的例子,比如說,共匪惡政,迫害自由,扼殺差異 (差異就是人權),搞ㄧ言堂,編造謊言,屏蔽真相,
